Pure Power

INSTRUCTIONS:

Power is moving your body as quickly as possible. To build it, use easier to moderately difficult bodyweight exercise variations.

Power engages what’s called the stretch reflex, or the rubber band-like qualities of your muscles and tendons. These explosive muscular contractions target your fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are key because they burn the most calories and have the largest impact on your metabolic rate.

Power moves also elevate your heart rate higher than any other movement and enhance your athletic performance. In fact, circuiting a handful of bodyweight power training moves that work your whole body for only 20 minutes will have a ridiculous metabolic impact that rivals that of sprinting.

A power workout is inherently higher impact, so it should be done only if you’ve been exercising regularly for at least three months.

HOW TO DO IT:

Perform this 20-minute total-body workout two or three times per week with ideally 48 hours between workouts.
